EVERY VOTER SHOULD GET THEIR NAME ON THE REGISTRATION BOOKS TWELVE MONTHS $1.50 MID-WINTER SESSION OF PRESS ASSOCIATION ACTED-OFFICERS ELECTED. Nashville, Jenn.-After electing Chris. J. Perry of Philadelphia, Pa., as president for the ensuing year, and after the transaction of much very important business the National Negro Press association adjourned the twelfth annual session sine die at two thirty o'clock Saturday. More interest was centered in the session just closed than in any meeting since the organization was revived at Louisville, twelve years ago. A larger representation of newspaper men was noticed when the regular session was called to order on Thursday morning in the board rooms of the National Baptist Publishing House at Second avenue, North and Locust street. Preceding the regular session came an executive committee meeting and although Chairman Jones was absent, he was ably represented by President Perry. Nashville opened wide her gates and from the time the newspaper men and women began to arrive until they said their final good-bye at the station, they were in the hands of the local committee, whenever the sessions and the business of the representatives of the press would permit. The many social features of the meeting were the special invitation by the presidents of the four great educational institutions, Roger Williams, Fisk A. and I. State Normal and Meharry Medical college. President and Mrs. Hale, as hosts of the State Normal, served a sumptuous dinner at their home on the campus. There were special programs prepared at each one of these educational power plants for the reception of the press representatives. Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville and corresponding secretary of the National Association introduced the visitors and told what their publications were doing. Addresses were made by a number of their guests with happy responses by presidents and professors The report of the advertising committee and the work they plan, with the benefits to be derived from the standardized advertising, mean thousands of dollars in the course of the next two years to those papers who belong to the association. An able address on advertising was delivered by a representative of the Frost and Frost Agency. The demonstration of the stereotype plate service, how to procure and send out mats from which stereos can be made, which was exhibited by Dr. Boyd of the National Baptist Publishing House was one of the most interesting things of the session. A line on the code service and an order from the early publication of a real code to be used by the members of the Press Association was issued by President Perry and sustained by the Association. The reports of the Vigilance Committee, the Committee on the Address to the Country, and Committee of Grievances were all well received, while a new standing committee on Foreign Relations was named. More than five hundred communications that had been sent into the corresponding secretary's office were given consideration. Several cases of misdirected or miscarried justice, where members of the race, were involved were reported. One special case was that of a man in Chicago recently brought up received the hearty endorsement of the Association, with a pledge of support. The Association commended in session the effort on the part of the National Federation of Women's clubs to purchase Douglass Home. It went on record as favoring not only the Lincoln Memorial but the Douglass Memorial movement. The Executive Committee's report embraced a multiplicity of activities on the part of the individual representatives belonging to the Association and it was agreed and understood that the motto of the Association should be paramount in their minds at all times. While nothing definite was done with regard to the Executive Committee session to be held some time in August, it is understood that the president and the chairman of the Executive Committee will confer to hold the meeting in the most centrally located place. The membership of the Press Association, according to the report of the corresponding secretary numbered one hundred thirty-six publications SOCIAL FEATURES. and their combined circulation per week, according to statements on file in the secretary's office, aggregated one million, one hundred and thirteen thousand copies per week. It is understood that Nashville is already preparing for the next session to be held in February, 1918. The four universities agreed, so it is claimed to accept an invitation to entertain the newspaper men at Ryman Auditorium, which holds about seven thousand people, next February when they meet in annual convention. On Friday night there was a spread given by the local committee of which Mr. A. N. Johnson was chairman and C. T. Hume, secretary, at the Chantant, on Fourth avenue, North, and seeing Nashville was pulled off on Saturday after the adjournment of the Association. While the social functions took up much of the time of the press representatives, the business feature and the legislation that the Association was able to do showed that they came prepared for hard work. A resolution thanking the citizens of Nashville for their hospitable entertainment, the local committee for its untiring efforts and the people in general for the big time given, was one of the last items of business. The report of the committee on nomination was received and the following declared elected: Chris J. Perry, Philadelphia Tribune, Philadelphia, Pa., President; W. L. Porter, East Tennessee News, Knoxville, Tenn., vice president; Wm. H. Steward, American Baptist, Louisville, Ky.; second vice president; Henry A. Boyd, Nashville, Tenn., corresponding secretary; J. A. Hamlet, Christian Index, Jackson, Tenn., recording secretary; Miss Ola M. Walker, Atlanta Independent, Atlanta, Ga., assistant recording secretary; B. J. Davis, Atlanta Independent, Atlanta, Ga., treasurer; E. A. Williams, the Brotherhood, Cincinnati, O., auditor; Jos. L. Jones, Fraternal Monitor, Cincinnati, O., chairman executive committee. EARLY MORNING FIRE DESTROYS CHURCH EIGHTH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH CORNER EIGHTH AND OAK-LAND AVE.—NO CLUE AS TO HOW IT STARTED. At about 1:30 a. m. Monday morning the beautiful stone church and popularly known as the Eighth Street Baptist church, located at the corner of Eighth and Oakland avenue, was discovered to be on fire, with the flames leaping through the slate roof. When the fire department arrived they found it impossible to check the maddened flames owing to the start it had gotten, but set to saving the houses around it which caused but little damage. The Rev. D. B. Jackson who lives at 710 Freeman avenue, is the popular pastor of this church and he with his faithful and energetic congregation have worked night and day for a number of years in erecting this large and consecrated house of God. While they carried considerable insurance, it was not enough by many thousands of dollars to cover the loss, besides the good shepherd's flock is without a church home The entire citizenry of Kansas City, Kansas, and hundreds of their friends in other places are in deep sympathy with the pastor and his congregation in their loss. The columns of The Advocate are open to assist in anyway in helping in this time of need. The congregation will worship this Sunday at M. & O. hall, corner of Eighth and Washington boulevard, after which arrangements will be made for a temporary place to worship until the rebuilding of the church. E. C. HALL FOR COMMI§SIONER OF PARKS. Mr. E. C. Hall, who is a candidate for commissioner of parks, is one of Kansas City's old and well known former business men. For many years he was in the grocery business in Argentine and later in the same business just north of Minnesota avenue on Fifth street. His acquaintance with the general public is widely known, which no doubt will bring him many votes without the least soliciting. As to Mr. Hall's ability to take care of the office no one questions. The little daughter of Mrs. Hays, on Oakland avenue, is sick. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FEBRUARY 23. 1917. SUMNER HIGH NOTES If you wish to witness a spirited discussion, you should attend the debate between the Junior and Senior English classes in charge of Miss Clifford on Wednesday, February 28. The subject is, Resolved: That the manufacture, importation and sale of intoxicating liquor for beverage purposes should be forbidden by an amendment to the constitution of the United States. The Sophomore class rendered a program at the assembly Wednesday, February 21 of which it has every reason to be exceedingly proud. This class is the only class that has at any time taken it upon itself to honor the birthday of one of the faculty who has done so much toward the education of the young people of Kansas City, Kansas. Prof. J. J. Lewis in honor of whom this program was rendered was born on February 22, 1862. He spent his early life in the South arriving in Kansas in 1886. From 1884 until the present he has been engaged in the education of the young people. Until 1910 he was engaged in teaching in the grade schools; in 1910 he was elected viceprincipal of Sumner and teacher of mathematics in which position he has served since. Prof. Lewis is known and honored by all the citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, and especially by the students of Sumner. Mr. Roy Garvin, the president of the Sophomore class, deserves much praise for the splendid program that he arranged. The program was as follows: Saxaphone solo by Commodore Swaney. Prof. Lewis' Life Before His Arrival in Kansas City, Kansas. Violin solo, by Miss Mary Adams. Prof. Lewis' Life After His Arrival in Kansas City, Kansas. Cornet solo, by Mr. William Payne. The program was concluded by the presentation of an umbrella to Prof. Lewis by the Sophomore class after which Prof. Lewis gave a short speech in acceptance of the gift. Miss Lillian Griffin of the Junior class was injured recently in an automobile accident. To the Ministers and Presidents of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of the Kansas City Conference: His Reverence Bishop Parks, Dr. Caldwell, Presiding Elders King, Owens, Smith and Terrel heartily concurring, we have decided to hold the Allen League meeting with the District Conference and Sunday School Convention this year as usual with the added hope that greater interest and a broader scope of the work may be developed in each charge, district and district convention. At these several conferences plans can be made looking toward a state convention the following year. The work being in its beginning stages and in many places not organized at all, needs careful and active, prayerful and continuous attention from this present moment to the opening session of each district conference. Let us plan a one day program. Let it be good and strong. Motto: "Mobilize Evangelize, Vitalize." When Speaking of the District Conference and Sunday School Convention don't forget to mention in the same breath the Allen Christian Endeavor League. I shall be pleased to visit your charge and render aid in advancing the work. Please write me what date you prefer my coming. Obediently, G. A. GREGG. Conference President of A. C. E. L. FEDERATION OF COLORED WOM EN'S CLUBS The City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Kansas City, Kansas, wishes to thank the public for their patronage at the charity concert. The net proceeds were over $10. The Federation gave baskets of provisions to the poor, also coal, clothing and medicine to the sick. MRS. M. BROOKS. VOTE FOR J. B. BROWN FOR PARK COMMISSIONER. PRIMARY MARCH 26TH. By Mervin Harris. PAST GRAND OFFICER OF K. P. DIES SUDDENLY. Brooks Lane of Iola, past grand master at arms of the Knights of Pythias of Kansas, and who for many years was a noted Pythian character in this judictriction, died at his home Monday of last week after a few days' sickness. Mr. Lane was an active worker in the order he loved so dearly. At the grand sessions he seemed to get more enjoyment out of the work in which his office called for than anyone who attended. Brooks was a big, hearty, robust, jovial fellow and he will be missed by scores of friends at the next grand session at Salina. It was with deep regret and sorrow when the news of his untimely death came over the wires to his many friends in this city. He was laid to rest Thursday afternoon of the 15th. Dr. S. H. Thompson grand chancellor of the state, attended the funeral and made appropriate remarks at the service. The wife and family have the sincere sympathy of her husband's many friends in this sad hour of bereavement. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. This comes to say that during the services at the Baptist church, Ninth and Washington boulevard, at 3 p.m. last Sunday, my good friend and brother Rev. McNeal made an unjust attack upon me, because I had not attended that splendid meeting just closed. It is but fair to me that you should hear the other side. First of all, I have been in Topeka on business and at the bedside of my only daughter in Lawrence, Kansas, most of the time; second, the card advertisements and announcements all said it was a union meeting of all the Baptist churches of Greater Kansas City; therefore, as a pastor of a Methodist church, it was not in keeping with professional ethics for me to attend three meetings without an invitation from any pastor associated in the Baptist union meeting; but I rejoice within the splendid meeting and precious souls brought to Christ. GRAND OPENING OF THE NEW DUNBAR THEATER—THURSDAY, MARCH 1—THE OWNERS AND MANAGERS WEL The Dunbar Theater company will open on next Thursday evening, March 1 the doors for the inspection of Greater Kansas City's public, one of the largest and handsomest playhouses, west of the Mississippi river. It is simply a beauty and the four, owners, Lawyer L. W. Johnson who is president; A. R. Ewing, secretary; W. J. Lee, treasurer and E. F. Shith, manager, deserve great credit in building such a magnificent amusement house. These four men are well known professional and business men of Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. Johnson has been one of the city's prominent attorneys for many years with offices at Sixth and State. Mr. Lee has had charge of the west end of the viaduct for a number of years and also proprietor of the Buffalo Cafeteria at 544 State avenue. Mr. Smith is one of the best head waiters of the west and has held that position at the Grund hotel on Sixth street for a great many years. Mr. Ewing has long been known as one of the race's leading carpenter contractors of the city for a good many years and these four gentlemen all being successful business men there is no doubt of their success in their new venture of which they rightly deserve. It has cost this company to build and equip this theater about $25,000. They say the management will be run on the very highest order at all times and the patrons will be given the best and cleanest amusement thats to be had as they expect that class of people, to be their success. The pictures will be the latest and of the highest character that money can purchase at all times. There should be no fear with these men in not having a success with such a high attitude of management. The Pleasure Seekers Study and Art club met at the home of Mrs. Graves. A large number were present. At the close of the regular business meeting the hostess served a lovely two course luncheon. 4-room cottage, $550. Good barn. $250. Balance to suit. Good neighborhood.

The much talked of Industrial Exposition of Kansas City, Kansas, which our business men have labored so energetically for the past month that Kansas City, Kansas, might be given a place on the map opened its doors last evening at Rainbow rink to a large crowd of humanity and to their surprise saw as fine an industrial exhibit as one could imagine.

These animals can do everything but speak Chinese. A fine orchestra is in attendance every afternoon and evening. Our business men who put on this splendid exhibit deserve untold praise and the citizens of Kansas City, Kansas, will certainly not see them go broke on account of attendance. A small admission of 10 and 15 cents is what it costs and the Hippodrome alone is worth three times or more the admission. It closes Wednesday night, February 28. METHODIST CHURCHES HOLDING UNION REIVAVL. The colored Methodist churches of Kansas City, Kansas, Rosedale and Quindarola started a union revival at First A. M. E. church, corner Eighth and Nebraska avenue, Monday night, and expect to run it for about three weeks. There are about twelve churches bringing their forces together in the saving of the souls of men. This week has brought out members and friends from all of these churches and soul stirring sermons have been delivered by various divines. The gospel fire has been felt so strongly in these meetings that its great warmth is being felt throughout the entire city and the neighboring towns. The telephones are busy inquiring about the meeting. All of the churches are holding cottage prayer meetings daily in their communities. As this week is a kind of preparatory or get together meeting among the churches. Next week will find the campaign concentrating their forces in the bringing in lost humanity. Feb. 22, 1915 NO.26 'LORD FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO' A SEGREGATION CANDIDATE—C. B. HEWLETT, REAL ESTATE MAN, TAKES UP THE CROSS AND LAYS DOWN HIS RELIGION FOR MAYOR. C. B. Hewlett, a real estate and insurance man with offices at 713 Minnesota avenue, who has been one of the strong agitators on segregation of the Negroes and whites of Kansas City, Kansas, was indorsed last Saturday night at a meeting at Edgerton Place Baptist church on North Fifth street by the Segregation league, as a candidate for mayor. It is said his platform will be principally on segregation. It is also known that two commissioners at least will be indorsed by this so-called Christian body, one for commissioner of parks and one for commissioner of streets. It is known three candidates for park commissioner and two for street commissioner have pledged themselves to this illly white segregation league but the members cannot agree on choice. For commissioner of finance and light and water no one has yet been found to make the race, but if they can elect the mayor and two commissioners they will have a majority in passing this rebel proposed ordinance. This segregation candidate has called himself for many years a man after God's own likeness, but old Father Time has shown that he has been looking at himself for these years in a false mirror and now he beholds himself as thousands of others do, shorn of sheep's clothing, standing in the garden naked. We don't mean to speak harsh or hurt anyone's feeling, but in some cases of diseased minds it is necessary in order to get the mental condition of a feverish temperature back to its normal thinking. When one comes to think about it, such people are to be pitied. "Lord forgive them, for they know not what they do." This is the Segregation candidate's card being distributed with cut attached: C. B. HEWLETT Segregation Candidate for Mayor PLATFORM. Protect the white man's home by city ordinance against negro encroachment. The home of the citizen is the city's greatest asset. On its stability alone rests the city's future. All registration expired Dec. 31, 1916. Mrs. Ware, 734 Freeman, has been very sick but is now improving. J. B.

PORTER. | The Fofmer Mdyor Makes aA wide ment @oncerning His Position in, This Campalgn, Kansas City, Kansas, February 11, 1917. To the Voters of Kansas City, Kansas: { am informed and have reason to pelleve that certain individualsare cir- culating a printed pamphlet with my mame printed thereon for the purpose of prejudicing certain voters. : Some time in January I permitted my name to be used by a delegation of public spirited citizens of this city in connection with a call for a meet- img to select a candidate for mayor. In pursuance of sald call a meeting was held at the Grund hotel. I did not attend and I am informed that this meeting selected Mr. Harry Men- denhall as their choice for mayor. I believed then and I still believe that Mr. Mendenhall was one of our fore- most citizens, Some time later another delegation of citizens held a similar meeting at the Grund hotel and selected Mr. “James DeCoursey as thelr cholce for mayor and I did not attend this meet- ing. Mr, DeCoursey has been my friend for years and had taken an active part In previous campaigns in my behalf. I can not say aught against him, and itwas under these conditions that I personally requested Mr. Men- dexhall to relieve me of any further participation in behalf of his cam paign, and Mr. Mendenhdjll, under standing my position, gratted my re quest, Iam not taking sides betweer. these two men dn the coming primary elec tion. [have nothing to do with elthe organization and am not permitting my name to be used by elther. Any attempt to connect my rame witt either has been done to create strife and prejudice and not for the best in terest of this city. I make this statement In order tha certain voters of this city will not be misled by said pritted circular tha’ 4s being circulated by some petty poll ticlan, I do nob propos to stand aly by and permit a wrongs to be perpe trated by some unscrupulous politician by my silence.

MINNESOTA AND 9TH STREET. The night school of Sumner High will hold their annual commencement Wednesday night, February the 28th. It will be held in the auditorium of the white high school at the corner of Minnesota avenue and Ninth street. Prof. King who has been in charge of the night school since its founding, says every one of the 17 departments will be represented on the program and practical demonstrations will be given of what this night school is doing. No admission fee is charged on this night, no tickets given out and no reserved seats. First come, first served. Program starts at 8 p. m. sharp. All are welcome: METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. AT THE MORNING SERVICE A GREAT CONGREGATION ASSEMBLED FILLING THE DRESS CIRCLE AND LARGE GALLERY. Bishop D. A. Holmes preached a beautiful sermon from Luke 13:42. "Lord Remember Me." Another pathetic baptizing was held after the discourse and fifteen souls were immersed in the handsome glass Baptistry. (One mother was so carried away in the spirit that she started to go into the water with her son.) At 3 p. m. Bishop C. K. Williams, of Chicago, preached for the 24 churches at this Temple. His text was from Rev. 7:11. It was a wonderful sermon explaining what true Christians will receive if they overcome. So great was the rejoicing of the vast multitude present that he had to end his beautiful sermon with the Greek version of "Manna," meaning "What was that?" He is the great Spurgeon of our race. His sermon Wednesday night on "Sin Is a Disease," exceeded Mr. Billy Sunday's sermons. At 8 p. m. Sunday the pastor of Metropolitan baptized two more making 17 baptized and nearly 30 joined during the day. One of the deacons informs us that Metropolitan alone has gained about 225 accessions from the Union Revival. And from others we are informed that great good has been done in arousing the wicked. BAPTIST UNION REVIVAL Bishop L. K. Williams has had audiences that reached from dress circle, galleries and into the large reception hall at Metropolitan Temple for the Bapist Union Revival. His sermon on "Sin" was the greatest ever heard in the Temple. Monday night, he preached his last sermon on this side from the 139th Psalm, 5th verse, to a standing room congregation. It is said that 1,000 accessions have been gained by this Union Revival. The evangelist preached his farewell sermon Wednesday at the Second Baptist church, Kansas City, Mo. BIBLE BRIGADE Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Mesdames F. Morris, Fitchou and others visited the jail and read, sang and prayed with the white and colored prisoners. Five or six professed Christ. The sheriff asked them to intercede for help for three young men. 1612-14 N. 10th Street ALONG THE LINE OF REASON. In our last Appeal, we spoke of acting along the same line that we pray. And of praying the same prayer, which was uttered by the Christ, in his last extremity. It should require no argument to show that this prayer covered all, and was sufficient for all purposes—for if it was good enough and broad enough to cover the case of Christ—surely it is good enough and broad enough for us poor creatures. And it is broad and good enough—if we will but use it honestly and stop lieing and substituting for it. To do this we must rise to the level, that Christ required—where we see and feel the Equality of Rights of all men. A level, at which we will not be so niggardly, as to concede superiority in another race generally—while each one of us, claims equality for himself with such other race, but inferiority to it, for all the rest of our race. I am fully convinced that our ministers—Men of God—can become the greatest powers; in bringing about such and honest, honorable feeling among us. (1) By instilling into us a determination to cease to be Liars and Pretenders. (2) By telling us plainly that it is not Christ-like, to save up all the good, we are going to do our "Brother in Black" till we get to some other place—while we lend all our practical act and deeds, to the up-building of our "other-race friends." (3) By preaching to us that such conduct is the very opposite of Christ's teachings and deeds. (4) By showing us that Christ advocated that the Good we do should be unto the "Un-washed herd of our Black brothers here on earth." (5) That such was his meaning when he said, "Our father, * * * let thy kingdom come on earth, as it is in heaven." (6) Let our ministers tell us at every service that so long as we pray as did the Chirst—while we purposely turn the effect of all our secular acts and transactions to the advantage of our "other friends because they are Not Black like we are—that we Falsifiers—commonly called Llars—and the truth is not in us. So said The Christ—our Lord. 7. By teaching us to follow in the steps of The Christ—in our dealings with ourselves even, and by ceasing to "Trim and Dodge" from selfishness, or the lover of money—in order to deal with our "other friends" for "tis clear that whatever advantage you accord them they prefer you to do so at suitable distance—Segregated. IKE BRADLEY. PLEASANT GREEN CHURCH. Last Sunday Pastor McNeal baptized thirteen. This Monday night he used the Metropolitan Baptistry and immersed four. One little boy started back and we were ashamed to hear many in the large audience laugh. Some of our race have much to learn. Remember, even Peter faltered when walking in the water.
